Impressive pics.
Watching National Geographic channel on Sky, they just showed a huge fire at a Rocket fuel factory in America, 2 massive explosions went off and you could see the shock wave traveling thorugh the dusty ground. They measured around 3 on the Richter scale
Must have been similar to what it was like in Hemel

But you've got to laugh at this:
Center of the pic, other side of the fence - see the couple of fire extinguishers - like they are going to be any use

Doubt its that easy to turn all those hoses and need to keep them tidy and not messed up, also probably wanted to keep one side of the road clear
